"Look at your life through Heaven's Eyes"

[hippo's hope is HIM]

I love the soundtrack to the animated movie Prince of Egypt.

My favorite song from this Movie is "Heaven's Eyes"

It takes place when Moses is in the desert.

I have listened to it so many times. It occurred to me I don't actually quite understand what it means. Let me show you the lyrics. It is sung by Jethro.

A single thread in a tapestry

Through its color brightly shine

Can never see its purpose

In the pattern of the grand design

And the stone that sits on the very top

Of the mountain's mighty face

Does it think it's more important

Than the stones that form the base?

So how can you see what your life is worth

Or where your value lies?

You can never see through the eyes of man

You must look at your life

Look at your life through heaven's eyes

Lai-la-lai...

A lake of gold in the desert sand

Is less than a cool fresh spring

And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy

Is greater than the richest king

If a man lose everything he owns

Has he truly lost his worth?

Or is it the beginning

Of a new and brighter birth?

So how do you measure the worth of a man

In wealth or strength or size?

In how much he gained or how much he gave?

The answer will come

The answer will come to him who tries

To look at his life through heaven's eyes

And that's why we share all we have with you

Though there's little to be found

When all you've got is nothing

There's a lot to go around

No life can escape being blown about

By the winds of change and chance

And though you never know all the steps

You must learn to join the dance

You must learn to join the dance

Lai-la-lai...

So how do you judge what a man is worth

By what he builds or buys?

You can never see with your eyes on earth

Look through heaven's eyes

Look at your life

Look at your life

Look at your life through heaven's eyes

How does one look through heaven's eyes? What does your life look like if you view it from God's perspective? How does he see us?

[OneLight]

To see yourself as God sees you. It seems the song is speaking of something or someone that cannot see the whole picture, or sees them self as someone they are not.

[RedMomma]

That's a cool song,Hippo and I would agree with Onelight on that too. Now girl you have seen with your own eyes that Red can post now,Lol But has alot to learn and don't mind it Gbu

.... How does one look through heaven's eyes? What does your life look like if you view it from God's perspective? How does he see us?

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

[nebula]

I like that song, too!
